    The Following Players Comprise the College Football Great Teams 2 Card Set

    COLLEGE FOOTBALL GREAT TEAMS OF THE PAST 2 SET ROSTER The following players comprise the College Football Great Teams 2 Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set.

    Rating the Packers Vs

    Rating the Packers vs. Vikings Vikings' weaknesses exposed in defeat Posted: Nov. 12, 2007 Green Bay - It took nine weeks but the Green Bay Packers finally played a game that wasn't settled until the fourth quarter. This one, a 34-0 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday at Lambeau Field, was over by halftime. Using exquisite game plans drawn up by Mike McCarthy and Joe Philbin on offense and Bob Sanders on defense, the Packers thoroughly outcoached Brad Childress, one of the coaches high on Ted Thompson's list to replace Mike Sherman 22 months ago. McCarthy is 16-9, best in club history after 25 games, and is headed for a new contract. Childress, 9-16, could be headed for a pink slip if owner Zygi Wilf has to watch another travesty like this in the final seven games. Here is a rating of the Packers against the Vikings, with their 1 to 5 football total in parentheses: RECEIVERS (3½) With Minnesota missing injured CB Antoine Winfield, the Packers had their way with what was left: CB Cedric Griffin, CB Marcus McCauley, nickel back Charles Gordon and veteran safeties Dwight Smith and Darren Sharper. McCarthy used three or more wideouts on 61 of 82 snaps (counting penalties) against a defense that stayed in a two- safety shell and tried to play coverage. Five wideouts combined for 20 receptions and 290 yards, a performance marred by four drops (two by Greg Jennings, one each by Donald Driver and Donald Lee). Jennings, with five drops in the last three games and six overall, made a circus 34-yard catch, adjusting better than Griffin and absorbing Sharper's best kill shot without flinching.
